Excess River Rock in side yards

| To avoid landscaping, the builder dumped tons of lose River Rock in my side yards. Any suggestions as to what I can do with it? I'm thinking maybe some mini raised beds here and there.
I did get flagstone pavers installed like a stream down the middles so it's easy to walk in the side yards. You can turn an ankle easy walking on river rock.
I also planted a couple citrus trees next to the wall (morning and mid day sun) and put a couple trees in containers (afternoon and mid day sun) so they can drain into it.
Other than writing words of wisdom and selling them at a flea market (not my deal) on the river rocks, any suggestions? |

| I've never posted here before. But, since I'm someone in the market for stones myself, I suggest just putting an ad on Craigs List. I'm sure people who collect would be willing to come and get them and probably pay you for them. |

We have the same thing on one side of our house. I love it! :)
I have used and am using all the field stone around here to build drystone walls and raised flowerbeds. I can't get enough! I think you could definitely get rid or it on Craigslist or freecycle.com. (on Freecycle you'd be giving it away, but you'd probably be able to get rid of it fast). |

| Thanks for your suggestions. I'll check into Craigslist or Freecycle. Never used them before. Thanks! |
